Back in 2017 we took a cruise from Venice that went around Santorini and Athens. It also stopped in Kotor on the way back.
We embarked on May 21 and it was the perfect time. Spending a couple days pre-cruise was nice. When we returned a week later, more regular tourists showed up and the streets were more crowded.I always recommend Europe in the first two to three weeks of May. The weather was great and the tourist spots weren't yet crowded.
They had a cruise at the right price in the right place at the right time.
Nothing to do with brand loyalty or anything else. Those are my prime requirements.
I'm going on a Celebrity cruise in a couple week. Never gambled in an onboard casino. I have my travel credit card associated with my account and will use it with my shipboard card, but I don't want the casino to use that credit card as a cash advance for chips.
Should I bring cash? If I offer an atm/debit card will they be able to use that?
